This Souped-Up Mercedes Is Dubai's Newest Over-The-Top Police Car

The Dubai Police is adding another exotic vehicle to its stable.
This Brabus B63-S 700 Widestar--a tuned version of the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG--has debuted at the 2013
Dubai Motor Show in police livery.

However, Brabus fiddled with it and was able to extract an
otherworldly 700 horses.

With that extra power, Brabus says the B63-S 700 Widestar will do
0-62 mph in 4.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 149 mph--perfect
for pursuit work.

The Brabus-tuned G-Wagen also features a wide body kit and
23-inch wheels. That looks pretty intimidating on top of the
stock G-Class' boxy military bodywork, even without the police
lights and brush guard.

The Brabus B63-S 700 Widestar police car may seem like a cheesy
publicity stunt, but Brabus and the Dubai Police have serious
plans for it. The SUV will be used to promote the "Tune It!
Safe!" campaign, which started in Germany as a way to encourage
drivers to modify their cars in a safe and legal manner. The
program is being exported to the United Arab Emirates where,
admittedly, there are a lot of modified cars.
